I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the festivities!

Please remember there will be a few day changes to your refuse and recycling collections over the festive/ new year period. For details please refer to Rother District Councils website http://www.rother.gov.uk/.

This year garden waste collections have been suspended between Christmas and into the new year to offer residents an extra refuse collection to cope with the additional waste. Please note all collections revert back to normal Monday 11th January.

P.s Remember the local ‘bring sites’ have bottle banks to recycle glass!

This week has seen the start of the trial recycling scheme for the 16 flats in Bexhill. Collections seemed to have gone well, and residents are participating which is great news! On the down side there have been a few offending items presented in the recycling wheelie bins for collection which has caused contamination. Unfortunately we don’t collect glass, cardboard or coat hangers so these items shouldn’t be presented in the recycling wheelie bins. Recycling wheelie bins are clearly labelled plastic bottles/ tins and cans only on one wheelie bin and paper and magazines only on the other wheelie bin.  

If anyone needs assistnace with their recycling I’ll happily help or you can take a look at Rother Distirct Council’s website for the latest information http://www.rother.gov.uk/

 To win a Recycled Christmas tree made out of Cardboard take a look at the recycle now website http://www.recyclenow.com/christmas_09/index.html. You can also get some great ideas on how to made recycled decorations, for example using an old polystyrene cup and magazines you can make an angle to go on top of your Christmas tree!
